Emerging Trends Highlighting Sustainability in Single-Use Packaging
In response to growing environmental awareness, leading companies are focusing on developing plastic-free, sustainable packaging solutions. These products emphasize eco-friendly materials and designs that minimize or completely remove plastic use while upholding environmental and social responsibility.
For example, in July 2023, Pixelle Specialty Solutions, a US-based paper and forest products manufacturer, launched the ARMOR brand-a collection of barrier paper solutions that are plastic-free and free from PFAS chemicals. The ARMOR line has FDA approval for direct and indirect food contact and features options like FlexArmor for uncoated uses and SelectArmor with a coated surface for enhanced print quality. This portfolio offers versatile barrier properties against oxygen, aroma, mineral oil, chocolate, OGR, and moisture vapor, which can be used individually or layered to improve packaging functionality.
